180kg, 250kg, 200kg, 209kg, 195kg, 205kg, 190kg, 188kg, 192kg. What is the IQR of the lion's weights.

Answer 1

18

Explanation:

Given the data:

180kg, 250kg, 200kg, 209kg, 195kg, 205kg, 190kg, 188kg, 192kg

The interquartile range (IQR) = Q3 - Q1

Reordering the data:

180, 188, 190, 192, 195, 200, 205, 209, 250

Q3 = 3/4(n+1)th term

Q3 = 3/4(10) = 7.5 th term = (205+209)/2 = 207

Q1 = 1/4(n+1)th term

Q1 = 1/4(10) = 2.5th term = (188+190)/2 = 189

Q3 - Q1 = 207 - 189 = 18
